'Cara' started her journey with RE.VIVE in October 2024. At that time, she had recently ended a toxic relationship and was struggling with low self-esteem and the temptation to remain in contact with her abusive ex-partner.
Here is what she had to say about her experience with RE.VIVE.....
"When I say that Debbie saved my life it's not said in a dramatic or exaggerated manner, it's said in recognition of how in despair I was and how Debbie saw each element of pain, anxiety and addressed it. I felt understood and that I mattered and she enabled me to step forward, even when I imagined it was impossible.
I was in a narcissistic relationship and the abuse (emotional, verbal, psychological, sexual and coercive control) I felt had destroyed me. I had gotten out of it but was deeply in a trauma bond, had no self worth and I kept wanting to go back even though I knew my life was in danger.
Debbie worked with me, patiently, never sugar coating and with honesty so I didn't get caught up in feelings of being an internal victim but rather a capable, strong woman who could take her life back and thrive. Throughout all our sessions she did this work with empathy and I felt understood and I felt I could recover.
I'm still working with Debbie but the transformation is incredible. The woman I was when I started working with Debbie was a broken one, overwhelmed with anxiety, crying all the time, afraid of doing or saying anything in case my abuser would hear. Now, my anxiety is so much better, I am not tearful, I socialise all the time now, my self worth is improving and I am gaining clarity on exactly what I've been through ad healing from it all.
I will eternally be grateful that I found Debbie, to hit rock bottom and to find someone with the skills and understanding to hep me was a miracle.
If you are a victim of a toxic relationship or struggling in life I recommend reaching out to Debbie. The journey you will go on will be transformative and healing and you will soon realise that everything will be ok.
'Julia' contacted RE.VIVE after watching some of my content on Social Media. She had been struggling to navigate life with a family member who had been displaying high levels of narcissistic traits for several years.
Here is what she had to say about her experience with RE.VIVE......
"Having found myself worn down and mentally weak as a result of a toxic relationship, I reached out to Debbie for some coaching. I felt like my life was the bottom of the pit so to speak. I had lost my voice and I no longer had confidence in myself. I was being abused emotionally and psychologically for years unbeknown to me. It was only when I stepped outside the box that I realised this was all wrong.
However, by this stage I was a mere shadow of who I once was. I came across RE.VIVE.COACHING by chance and I began to follow her on Social Media. I then saw that Debbie had released a book which I purchased and I literally couldn't believe what I was reading! It was like every page I turned to I could see the person who was abusing me and how similar these types of people were.
I continued engaging with this toxic person as I felt I had to due to our relationship. I continued to get worn down more and more. Things got worse until I finally stepped away from the person. I thought things couldn't possibly get any worse until the abuser started a smear campaign against me. Everything they had been doing me was being twisted and reversed to look like I was the one doing it to them. I was mind blown. I couldn't understand how or why someone would actually do this especially someone who you had a close relationship to. I went into a period of crisis I suppose and found myself wishing my days away. I hated how this person had made me feel in myself and I soon realised I could either lie down and continue to deflate or I could try and help myself in whatever way I could.
This is when I reached out to Debbie. From the moment I made contact with her she has been amazing. My first appointment I was so nervous I almost backed out but I'm glad I didn't. Debbie let me talk in my own time. She listened and let me face every emotion I had buried deep. I felt I could properly talk to someone who truly understood my situation, pain and heartache. She helped me find logic when my mind was in overdrive. Debbie helped me find my light and purpose again. She told me everything straight up. She helped me build my resilience and reclaim my identity. She helped me in situations where I found myself still having to deal with the toxic individual and her guidance was always right.
I would truly hand on heart recommend Debbie to anyone, not just those who have endured abuse. Debbie has most definitely helped me in abundance and only for her I don't know where I would be. Debbie is what I would call one of earth's angels and I will forever be grateful that I found her when I did. I would encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out to Debbie.
